If I was after an open top car that wasn't overtly 'girlie' I'd go for a TVR Griffith 500. :y :-* :-* :-*

I know of one for sale - low mileage, impeccably maintained, reasonably priced...

The BHP figure is bull, you cant get the 2.4 jTD to that level of output with the particulate filter still fitted.

Diesel and convertible. That's just wrong.  ::)

Does it come with a gas mask in case you have to reverse? ;D

Hmmm.....Well I don't own a Mercedes anymore so.......perhaps...... ::) ::) ::) ;)

With a 'woofly' old Rover V8 up front it should be reasonably inexpensive to maintain. :y :y

Agreed.

I thought they came in either 190BHP or 210 BHP flavours.

Next door to me has the same engine but in a 159, it's been into Alfa a lot!

Only does short runs, last time they brought it back from the dealer, within miles the cabin was stinking of diesel  ;D

In all seriousness you probably wouldn't find a better example - it had a body-off chassis restoration in 2007: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/tvr/griffith/tvr-griffith-1995-n-500hc/2244325

Though this has me tempted at the moment, on the proviso that I'd rip out the RV8 and replace it with a decent V8: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/datsun/240z/datsun-240z-1973/2212721
